New Nursery French Doors

This week we had french doors installed between the nursery and the master bedroom. The gentlemen who did the work did a FABULOUS job, they look great! Now we need to get to work on the rest of the nursery...wood floors, wainscoting, paint, new ceiling....and the list goes on.

This is the nursery before...

and then looking towards the nursery from the master bedroom.

And the new french doors to divide the two!!

I love them, it lets in sooo much more light!

And here is the view again from the master.

Really?

So, a woman at work (who will remain nameless for her own safety ;) compared my 20 week belly to that of a full termer. She said, "I thought you'd enjoy getting fatter and having you face get fuller already." EFF. OFF. I'm fully aware my ass is expanding...don't need the reminder.

Yeah, so...I'm PSYCHED for the coming months and the "fatness" (I'm going with voluptuousness) that will only get worse!

On a happier note...starting to really feel the baby move and kick in there. However, she does it every morning at 4 am. I'm told she should be awake at about the same times when she comes out. So, in case you missed it, let me reiterate: Four. AM. Everyday. Awesome.

The other day, Drew bought these booties from, where else...Cabela's :) They're precious, and I think it's so cute that he did it. I think he's really embracing the "girl" stuff ;)

Camp Sherman and the Pink & Blue Party

18 weeks and had our OB appointment today. Baby's heart rate was good at 147, but I'm measuring at 20 weeks instead of 18! Holy crap, I'm scared :) We had Jake (the best ultrasound guy ever) check and see if he could tell if it was a boy or a girl. He said he's 80% sure it's a.......

..surprise until we cut the cake! This is our pink and blue party at Camp Sherman with the family. Hmmm...looks like a lot of blue shirts there, I'm still stickin' with the pink.

Holy crap, it's pink!

Yeah, we're excited :)

That's his "I'm scared, but I'm trying to look excited" face.

Moment of truth....

The cake, beautifully made by the Lovin' Oven...and grandma Millie.

Windows, Mantels, and Doors, Oh My!

Oh yeah, it's fall...and I'm gettin' out the decorations! This is the beginning of the new mantel that Drew's building. I'll post an after picture when it's finished.

Drew built this as well... my great handyman! Eventually it will have glass doors on the front.

This is my favorite! It's the door to the pantry. We painted it with chalkboard paint, and it works great for a grocery list!

While my parents were here in August, we put in new windows...this is one of them. The original windows were about half this size. We still need to put trim around them, but the view is great.

We're putting wainscoting up in the dining room, it's a process!

Update!

This is the 15 week pic....starting to see a little something! I'm feeling sooo much better. I had ALL day long queasiness in the first trimester. I'm so glad to be feeling normal again.

The ultrasound taken at 15 weeks, the kid is waving already...we're just thrilled that it actually has fingers!

Really scary alien baby...not thrilled with this pic.

Yep, it even has an eyeball. Doing good so far!

Finally!

We found out in June, after about two years of trying, that we're finally pregnant! This is the before, at about 4 weeks pregnant...don't think I'll look like this for long!

This was taken at our first OB appointment, baby was 9 weeks and 4 days. Baby was wiggling all around in there. The doctor said, "now he's just showing off!"

Bathroom Before and After

This is the upstairs bathroom renovation...we're almost done,

just a few more final details.

The tile is finally done, just needs some grout!

I'm starting the tiling process...hmmm, maybe my new profession?

Down to studs!

The gorgeous before, complete with pink tub and toilet...awesome.

Yuck!
